See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html Note that the same CSS cannot be used for Author mode and when transforming the document into HTML. * When transforming the document into HTML ==> simple CSS leveraging the built-in CSS rules of the browser. (This CSS needs to style a few dozen HTML elements having class attributes such as class="programlisting".) * In authoring mode ==> huge, complex, CSS using many proprietary extensions, not trying to be WYSIWYG, developed specifically to make authoring as easy as possible. (This CSS needs to style the 400+ DocBook elements.) I would recommend: * To use your custom CSS when transforming the document into HTML. * To customize XMLmind's DocBook CSS (i.e. XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook5/css/docbook5.css) in order to make it look as close as possible to your own CSS. > 2.

Same chapter: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html Note that before reading this chapter, you need to understand how XMLmind XML Editor is configured and how the configurations are deployed. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html
